I am using a custom form. I have a primary key with the following mysql statement (select max(eventID) + 1 from event). When I press the test button, that select statement brings back the next integer from the table.

However, it doesn't actually update the table with that number.
If I turn off auto-increment on the table, nothing posts to the database with I click store item, though I get no errors. @@Identity returns 0.

I currently have the primary key visible in my custom form. Nothing is updated to it when I hit store item. I have another mandatory key that selects {WINDOW_USER). That field doesn't update the database or the form unless I hit Store Item twice. That makes 2 entries.

I'm out of ideas.

The test button executes the statement your enter, so a select statement will never update a table!?

Are you using the select select max(.. or select @@Identity ?

I tried both. @@IDENTITY definitely doesn't work. I deleted everything and started over with a redone odbc object and now MAX works. However, now I can no longer activate the product. I sent an email to that effect and hope to hear back on that soon. Thanks!
